The evidence is against you here. There are already emacs-snapshot
packages for Debian GNU/Linux and derivatives, and to get a version
for GTK+ you _explicitly_ have to install emacs-snapshot-gtk.
Otherwise you will get the Athena widget version.
I don't see where you get the conviction that things will change with
the release of Emacs 22 _unless_ we express our "upstream" intent to
have GTK+ preferred over Athena in a default installation by, well,
making it the default installation.
